Strictly 2026 : WEEK ONE 18.15PM Sooo many SAAMMBAAS. NO SPOILERS.

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Housekeeping : If the thread goes down like last week it’s not anything to do with me, complaints to Site Stuff

100 posts left on previous thread but majority agreed to a weekly thread so here we are, please board the glitterbus

I’ve put NO SPOILERS but I don’t think we have an elimination this week. In any case the Spoiler Thread is here :

KEEP DANCING

It’s not really reaching for the sky is it?

Lee mead is in casualty isn’t he - it never really took off as expected

For me success would be similar to Stacey Solomon career and being household names

They looked like they were expecting higher scores.

JOJO s words have no impact.
Karen would have worked better...

You're showing your frame of reference or lack of! Trevor Sorbie, Vidal Sassoon, John Frieda, Nicky Clarke to name a few.

Oh no. She'd have been fab.

It's Connie Fisher btw!

Yeah he looked pissed.

Why didnt they have Josh doing the post dance chat instead of Johannas?

I liked the fringe - it’s meant to look like that I thought

I feel like Shirley and motsi need to swap dresses 😂

I don’t mind the new format. Shows move on and evolve don’t they.

I think Melanie is very beautiful and I suspect she will turn out to be good at the dancing.

Josh! Get your hands out from behind your back

You look like a bloody puppet

Jojo better with people he knows well - the interview with Amy was much improved

Since Vidal Sassoon in the 1960s I think. Bit strange though.

Maybe they will another week - would be so much better

for the record no Zoe ball please - talks way too fast and not funny

Oh Gwen! What’s occurring

Does look like he's used one of those plastic caps of the 80s that you pulled clumps of hair through for 'streaks' as opposed to foils and highlights nowadays.

Melanie is stunning. Can't believe how much younger than Gwen she looks.

He has following - apparently they are trying to appeal to younger audience with all the influencer YouTube type people

Sorry, didn’t see this when I posted!

I’m loving the celebrities so far, seem like a good bunch who can all improve so will be good to watch. It takes to Halloween to see real developments I think

I like her dress.

Ah they're in a kitchen. Wonder if an omelette will feature!

I'm sure her age had something to do with it.
They didn't want two 50 something women again.
Tess and Claudia were so much younger originally

Isn't Melanie the oldest celeb this year?
